as the title says, after rooting, i am unable to check for any firmware updates. i realize it doesnt mater right now as there is noithing out right now, but i like to check often just in case tmobile releases something or samsung. when i go to check for updates by selecting settings>software update and then a warning message pops up: DM initalisation is not ready, Check network or SIM card
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
I was about to ask this same question, and yes i am also rooted. Just wanted to post that you are not alone on this one.
thats good to know, i was beginning to wonder if i was the only one having this problem, for now i unrooted and flashed back to stock using odin, but i miss having root and some of the apps i was using. I am not willing to give up the ability to check for new firmware though as my source at work told me that updates are coming in the next 2 weeks and that we should be getting a text message about them in the next week or so. and just so people know, it wasnt a tmobile customer service rep, i work for deutsche telekom so we here things first usually.
I have this same issue, where I'm unable to check for firmware updates. I am not rooted though... I just bought the phone today and when I click the 'Software Updates' option it says 'No firmware' in a pop-up message. This problem is not only associated with rooted devices.

Read the first post again... yours is the normal message that is displayed when no firmware update is available...
Also, I'm rooted and the update seems to be working fine.
I'm rooted and it pops no firmware.

If I flash back to stock it works fine when I use odin to go back to stock, but if I reroot it says the same thing. Nothing ever stops it from saying what I posted in the OP. I need some help funding a fix or ok won't be able to get the froyo update when it releases.

If I use oclf to root and apply the fix, then unroot using oclf, will the factory ota not work?

Duuude don't worry about it. People will post ROM clockwork backups of the froyo release / stock odin flashes of it / etc.
Anyone will be able to update, however they do so... And just wait til you hear about it THEN unroot and update
yep i'm rooted to and it checks for filmware just fine .

... *sigh* Because there isn't a UPDATE for the Vibrant.
IF I ROOT, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes. Rooting will not prevent this, unless you flash a custom ROM that will block receiving the OTA update. If you do receive and download the OTA update, you will lose root. Typically within hours of the OTA becoming available, thanks to some fine XDA folks you can get the update WITH root. You would simply need to download and flash the update like a normal ROM.

Rooting doesn't mess with your OTA updates, when you update with the OTA it will remove your ROOT. The only way to interfere with OTA's are flashing custom ROMs.
But you cannot get the ota update when it releases if the check for update option under settings is not working. All I want to know is why the firmware update option is broken and how to fix it.

When I first got my phone I got the message Check network or SIM card. I rooted the phone and still got that same message. I restored to origanal and got the message'No firmware'. Now again I am getting Check network or SIM card.

It seems like your phone was more than just rooted. What method did you use to root?
Note: Yeah, the "No Firmware" message is the normal message you get if there's no update available, aka, your phone is searching for and/or receiving OTA updates just fine.

This was my plan. Although, I'm reading posts that imply that even though a phone is rooted, if the user hasn't flashed a custom ROM, they'll still get the OTA update, and getting the OTA update will unroot the phone.
When this happens, root-necessary apps like ryanza's lag fix, titanium backup and android system info won't work anymore right? Will they need to be uninstalled and reinstalled? Or will I just need to re-root?
Sorry, I'm new to Android and don't know the typical process stock ROM root users go through with OTA updates.
Genuinely, thanks for any feedback.
Yes I wanna know this too. I'm holding off on getting apps for root only because I think they might mess something up. Also I thought I read set cpu spook might mess up the vibrant running oclf. Anyone?

The official update is the exact same as my leak/soak test. Information on those can be found on this little wikia page I've thrown together

root?
Has any of you able to retain root? Does one click root work still with this update.
*update* did the OTA...lost root. One click root doesnt work...
hey you know if it retains wifi tether ability?
Got up an hour ago and the update was there (Naples, FL) for both my Razr Maxxes. Like a fool I agreed without first installing OTA RookKeeper. My Razr is now 6.12.173 and it lost root during the OTA update. So far, nothing will root that I've found (through trying a reading). Any way to roll back to 6.11 and re-root?
I need to get the WiFi tethering back ASAP!!!
Thx.
Just updated. Restored root with OTA rootkeeper. Can confirm wifi tether and safe strap still work.

I upgraded to 6.12.173 and lost root even though I used voodoo OTA. Don't know how to get it back without going back to previous version. Any suggesstions.

I just verified that the zergRush and Gingerbreak 1.2 DO NOT WORK to root 2.3.6 (in case it isn't already posted here). I'm still needing to either root 2.3.6, or roll back to 2.3.5 so I can root again... Any help is much appreciated.

Wish I had waited! Glad I told my wife to wait. I'll root her phone and install OTA RootKeeper before I update the phone. At least then I'll only have to roll back one Droid!
it retained the root but you need to re root
OTA and Titanium Backup
OK...sorry for the question, but I've recieved the "nag" screen that the OTA is available. I'm rooted and used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze and "uninstall" several programs.
I can NOT get the OTA to install. It downloads (now on my 4th attempt), reboots the phone, tries to install and it fails.
Phone reboots and I get the "nag OTA" screen again.
I've unfrozen all the programs, but NFL Mobile, VZ Navigator, Slacker, DNLA and News 2.3.5 were all uninstalled and I can't get them back.
Is this what might be holding up the OTA from installing properly?
Thanks for any help.
Shayne
yes... you'll have to reinstall previously uninstalled apps - if you have apk's you can just place them to their original location...
in general there is no reason to uninstall instead of just freezing the applications because if there is something missing, ota is not possible...
have you checked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406550 ?
So i downloaded the soak update when it was launched. Resided in cache directory.
But since I was rooted and had bootstrap it would not install. I have sbf'd back to stock today and was wondering if I copy the update back to the cache folder, is there a way to manually trigger the update process?

EDIT (Found out how):
Placed it on the root of my external SDcard re-named to update.zip
Then held volume down while powering on, pressed volume down until I saw android recovery, then pressed volume up. When I saw the yellow triangle I pressed and held volume up and down and it brought me to stock recovery where I chose the zip to flash.
Why would you want to run that update?
Well, I guess the biggeset benefit I want out of it is the 1080p camera. I have it on 2.3.4 rooted and has been fine (on stock rom). So, I figure I am a candidate for a stock rom on this phone as I haven't (In the past 8 months) unlocked and flashed a custom rom as they all seem to have snags of some sort.
4G is not that important to me as I live in Michigan and we were/are yet to see WiMax in my area, and now with the LTE push that's the nail in the cofin for this particualr phone. But even with that said, I don't see a fully stable ICS release yet for our phone - as that is what would get me to unlock and flash - so I am not concerned with locking the bootloader as the next hopeful release for this phone should be ICS.

From what I have read this update will not allow you to ever unlock your phone should you decide you ever want to. I'd check into it a little deeper before you flash just in case. ICS will come eventually

Save yourself potential grief down the road and just install the 2.3.5/cm7 rom or the 2.3.5ish rom if you dig blur for some reason. Both have 1080 and are extremely stable. That way you get your 2.3.5 fix and if something comes out in the future that you need an unlocked bootloader for you wont be screwed. I mean think about it, if you plan to keep your photon till q4, cm9 and the rest will be perfectly stable very shortly after they leak ics. And really, our devs will release a better build than anything that moto might deliver.
Also, you posted this in the incorrect forum.
I'm not sure how to manually update. I'd recommend flashing MoFo 2.3.5ish as not to lock your bootloader incase down the road you change your mind. I'm running MoFo 2.3.5ish and it's fast, stable and has the 1080p camera (the only reason I'm not on an ICS ROM). Then, once camcorder becomes working on ICS, I'll move back.
Cheers!
I ran the update manually. I did so by renaming the update to update.zip, stuck it in the internal sd root directory, booted into recovery, and ran the flash update.zip option.
Just a heads up, you need to be on 196_6 for it to work. It throws an error with 196_7.

I wish there was a way to do this while being on the current soak update. I'm already on 2.3.5 but I'm having ridiculous issue and aren't sure how to fix them...
What I mean exactly is I wish I could find the soak update files (2.3.5 update), rename that to update.zip and flash it thru Android Recovery. I'm debating on switching out my current Nandroid backup (thru BSR) system.img with one I downloaded from another post that is from the soak update to see if that helps correct my issues... any thoughts if that would work?

Thats what my first post is giving you. I linked you to the 2.3.5 soak update. Rename it to update.zip and follow my instructions, it's walking you through doing exactly what you just asked.
Keep in mind, this is the default way to update, so will lock the bootloader.
Bootstrap recovery does not work since I ran this update.

My bootloader is already locked. I'm already on 2.3.5 from the soak update. The reason I'm hesitant about flashing the file in OP is because it says "Blur.Version.4.5.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.us.zip" and the soak update is "Blur.Version.4.5.4.12.MB855.Sprint.en.us.zip"
I looked at the files and see some of the newer apps in there but none of the other updated system apps. That's only reason why I'm somewhat hesitant to rename and try to flash thru Android Recovery thinking that my device would throw an error because it thinks I was trying to downgrade it...
So if the file in OP is soak update, than why is it say previous official 2.3.4 version?

No idea really. That is the update that was pushed to my phones /cache/tmp directory as soon as clicked "Download Update" when the soak was released.
Prior to flashing I was on 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6
Then after flashing this via renaming to update.zip and flashing through android recovery, I am on 2.3.5 System Version is "About" phone shows 45.4.12.MB855.Sprint.en.US

For Canada, JB is pushed via OTA today on Rogers.
Update # 9.8.2.124.18
I am looking for sbf or fastboot files for xt910 Rogers Razr if someone has found it please post it.
Thanks
Fido
Fido would be appreciated as well.
cannot see it yet.
I just switched back from CM10 to base rogers and I cannot see the system Update (yet).
If someone else finds it please post, I will keep looking for it and post the OTA file once I see it if no one else has.
Thanks for the heads up.
now all we need is root on a windows computer.
:laugh:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php
a list of all fastboots. you can see 2 rogers there, 1 is ICS, 1 is GB. i forgot which is which tbh lol...
but im having trouble too with the OTA. kept failing on me, and if i manually update it using safestrap3.11 it just fails on verifying phone build.
i defrosted all bloatwares, cleaned cache and dalvik, nothing helps. i really dont want to factory reset just yet, or even trying fastboot since im too lazy to set it up again, but at this point, that seems to be the only solution.
anybody got any ideas?

Hi Red...
Do you have the OTA file? Can you share it?
You may have to fast boot the ics, then root, then voodoo, then upgrade.
Remember you cannot go back to ICS once you upgrade with OTA, and so far root in JB only works from a Linux machine for our xt910's

i got frustrated and caved in. i just fastboot the JB image. check out the sticky in dev forum. works fine. no roots is ok for now, coz all im missing is TiBu and my saved games lol everything else is backed up by Google.
there's an OTA in one of the thread in General forum. it's titled Fido, but somebody on page 2 posted the Rogers OTA files.
but yes, now that i think about it, i should fastboot ICS, root, voodoo, and upgrade. oh well. :fingers-crossed:

Depending on how you disabled them you might not even be able to flash the ota. You have to have untouched /system and stock recovery in order to take the ota.

Only disabled them through Settings->Apps. Didn't tinker with anything in this phone as i did with my previous ones.
If you don't mind setting up the phone again, you can RUU (will wipe user data).
Similarly, sometimes folks have gotten the OTA to kick in after doing a factory reset.
Neither of these are ideal I know. But it is what it is.
